Can I be pregnant?

My period came on the 19th of May,me and my boyfriend had sex on my period which was May 21st and he did release sperm, we had sex on May 24 which was Thursday, on Friday May 25th, and Thursday May 31st. I've been taking prenatal pills during the whole process. I've also been having symptoms. I'm only 20 years old and I need some help.

Technically you won't ovulate until 2nd June, based on the first day of your last menstrual period being 19th May and if you ovulate on day 14 of your cycle. Of course, date of ovulation can vary widely depending on the woman. But assuming that you do ovulate on 2nd June, you are not pregnant yet, but you certainly could still get pregnant since you had sex on 25th May and 31st May. Sperm can live in your vagina for up to 7 days in the right conditions, so this sperm is capable of fertilising an egg that is released. I would suggest that the symptoms you have experienced so far are just a result of your normal cycle. Really you would have to wait for around another 2 weeks before you could take a pregnancy test to be sure.
